  • The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect given to the variable details which disturb the flow of blood in brain artery disease through Aerobic exercises. It chose the subjects of study : 5 persons in an exercise group and 5 persons in a non-exercise group. Peak brain blood velocity, mean velocity, and resistance & artery stricture ratio were measured with TCD, measure machine for brain artery blood flow. The conclusion of the study was as follows: 1. At pre-test of an exercises group and a non-exercise group, PBV, MBV, BRI, ASI of a non-exercise group were showed much lower in the variation of left common carotid artery(LCCA). 2. At post-test of an aerobic exercises group and a non-exercise group, PBV, MBV, BRI, ASI of a non-exercise group were showed just a little decrease ratio but were not significant different in the variation of left common carotid artery(LCCA). Viewing on the base of these result, continuing exercises promote the functional improvement of the heart blood system and were showed the positive variation of artery stricture ratio according to brain blood flow velocity, the pulse and resistance or blood velocity. Therefore programs for prescriptions through aerobic exercises must be developed in many ways.

  • 화석연료의 점진적 고갈과 그 사용에 따른 지구온난화 그리고 에너지 안보를 해결하기 위하여 세계 각국에서는 대체에너지 개발에 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그 중 수소는 가장 주목받고 있는 대체에너지 원으로 현재 기술개발을 통하여 상업화 시기를 앞당기려고 하고 있다. 다시 말해서, 현재는 수소에너지 시대의 진입 시점이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 수소는 다양한 소스에서 생산될 수 있으며, 수송연료로 연소 시, 유해 배출물이 거의 나오지 않는 장점이 있다. 그러나 수소는 그 생산 경로에 따라서, 다양한 환경성 및 경제성을 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 수소 생산 방식으로 개발/상업화 되어 있는 NGSR, Naphtha SR, WE에 대하여, LCA와 LCCA 방법을 통하여, 수소 경로 전반 즉, 원료채취에서부터 자동차로 주행하였을 때까지를 포함하여 각 대상 수소 경로의 환경성과 경제성을 평가하였다. LCA와 LCCA 결과를 살펴보면, Naphtha SR 및 NGSR 수소 경로에서는 지구온난화와 화석자원 소모 부문 모두 기존연료와 비교해보았을 때 개선효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났으나, WE 수소 경로에서는 오히려 환경부하가 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 비용적인 측면에서 살펴보면, 수소에 가솔린과 동일한 연료 세율을 부과하더라도 수소가 가솔린에 비하여 주행 시 연료 비용이 저감되어 연료로서 가격경쟁력을 확보하였으며, 연료세를 부과하지 않는 다면, Naphtha SR로 생산하여 유통한 수소가 수송연료로써 가장 비용 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

  • Fingerprinting scheme uses digital watermarks to trace originator of unauthorized or pirated copies, however, multiple users may collude and escape identification by creating an average or median of their individually watermarked copies. Previous research works are based on ACC (anti-collusion code) for identifying each user, however, ACC are shown to be resilient to average and median attacks, but not to LCCA and cannot support large number of users. In this paper, we propose a practical SACC (scalable anti-collusion code) scheme and its angular decoding strategy to support a large number of users from basic ACC (anti-collusion code) with LCCA (linear combination collusion attack) robustness. To make a scalable ACC, we designed a scalable extension of ACC codebook using a Gaussian distributed random variable, and embedded the resulting fingerprint using human visual system based watermarking scheme. We experimented with standard test images for colluder identification performance, and our scheme shows good performance over average and median attacks. Our angular decoding strategy shows performance gain over previous decoding scheme on LCCA colluder set identification among large population.

  • 제품의 개념설계 단계는 제품의 주요특성과 라이프 사이클 전반에서 발생하는 Life Cycle Cost(LCC)의 대부분을 결정하는 중요한 단계이다. 이에 따라 개념설계 단계에서의 Life Cycle Cost Analysis(LCCA)의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 그러나 LCCA는 제품의 경제성과 사용성, 친환경성 사이에서의 합리적인 의사결정을 지원하기에 한계가 있다. 본 논문은 개념설계 단계에서의 새로운 의사결정지원도구로서 기업 관점의 제품 라이프사이클 기업 가치(LCCV)분석 프레임워크를 제안하고, 그 핵심모듈인 기업 비용 예측모델 (LCCCEM)을 소개한다. 이 프레임워크를 통해 기업이 제품의 경제성과 시장성, 친환경성 사이에서 보다 전략적이고 합리적인 의사결정을 수행하도록 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • Essential sources of arterial vascularisation in the head and neck region are the left and right common carotid arteries (CCA) and their branches. The left CCA (LCCA) originates from the arch of the aorta and the right CCA originates from the brachiocephalic trunk. In this case report, there was a bilateral higher division of CCA at the plane of the greater cornua of the hyoid bone, unilateral tri-ramification of the LCCA and the left external carotid artery (LECA), and the origin of the linguo-facial trunk and the pharyngo-occipital trunk from the LECA. An aneurysm formed in the distal part of LECA before its termination. In this case, we propose a novel categorization called the punnapatla classification for the anatomical variance branching forms of ECA. These kinds of variations are important to the surgeons, and anaesthetists, during the surgeries of the head and neck.

  • The development of a Pay Adjustment (PA) procedure for implementing Performance-related Specifications (PRS) is known to be a difficult task faced by most State Highway Agencies (SHAs) due to the difficulty in such areas as selecting pay factor items, modeling the relationship between stochastic variability of pay factor items and pavement performance, and determining an overall lot pay adjustment. This led to the need for an effective way of developing a scientific pay adjustment procedure by incorporating Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) embedded Monte Carlo approach. In this work, we propose a prototype system to determine a PA specifically using the data in the pavement management information systems at Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) as an exemplary to other SHAs. It is believed that the PRS methodology demonstrated in this study can be used in real projects by incorporating the more accurate and reliable performance prediction models and LCC model.

  • Objective : To understand the anatomic characteristics of the aortic arch (AA) and its major branches to build a foundation toward performing endovascular surgery safely. Methods : A total of 25 formalin fixed Korean adult cadavers were used. The authors investigated : anatomical variations of the AA and its major branches; curvature of the AA; distance from the mid-vertebrae line to the origin of the major branches; distances from the origin of the major branches of AA to the origin of its distal branches; and the angle of the three major branches, the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT), the left common carotid artery (LCCA) and the left subclavian artery (LSCA) arising from AA. Results : The three major branches directly originated from AA in 21 (84%) of the cadavers. In two (8%) of remaining four cadavers. orifice of LCCA was slightly above the stem of BCT. In remaining two (8%) cadavers, the left vertebral artery (LVA) was directly originated from AA. Average angle of AA curvature to the coronal plane was 62.2 degrees. BCT originated 0.92 mm on the right of the mid-vertebrae line. LCCA and LSCA originated from 12.3 mm and 22.8 mm on the left of the mid-vertebrae line. Mean distance from the origin of the BCT to the origin of the RCCA was 32.5 mm. Mean distance from the origin of the LSCA to the origin of the LVA was 33.8 mm. Average angles at which the major branches arise from the AA were 65.3, 46.9 and 63.8 degrees. Conclusion : This study may provides a basic anatomical information to catheterize AA and its branches for safely performing endovascular surgery.

  • Though the concept of Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) itself is not new, its effectiveness for planning, design, rehabilitation and maintenance/management of civil infrastructures is becoming increasingly recognized. For the decision problems as in the case of the LCC of plant facilities, equipments, bridge decks, pavements, etc., the Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is relatively simple, and thus its practical implementation is rather straightforward. However, when it comes to major infrastructures such as bridge, tunnels, underground facilities, etc., the LCCA problem becomes extremely complex because lack of cost data associated with various direct and indirect losses, and the absence of uncertainty data available for the assessment as well. As a result, the LCC studies have been largely limited only to those relatively simple LCCA problems of planning or conceptual design for making decisions. Accordingly, in the recent years, the researchers have pursued extensive studies on the LCC effectiveness mostly related to LCC models and frameworks for civil infrastructures. Moreover, recently the demand on the practical application of LCC effective decisions in design and maintenance is rapidly growing unprecedently in civil engineering practice. Indirction cost is very important on LCC formulation. But that is very difficult and complicate the estimation every LCC. The objective of this paper is to suggest efficient regression model for the estimation of indirect cost approach to the practical application of LCC for the design and rehabilitation of civil. infrastructures considering traffic, traffic network, detour condition, and workzone condition. In this paper, it performed the sensitivity analysis and correlation analysis of parameter for development of regression model of inflection cost.

  • The importance of the life cycle cost analysis(LCCA) for apartment housing remodeling projects has been fully recognized over the last decade. Accordingly theoretical models, guidelines, and supporting software systems were developed for the life cycle cost analysis of apartment housing remodeling systems. However, the level of consensus on LCCA results is still low due to the lack of reliable data on remodeling activities for safety diagnosis. in order to predict the reliability based LCCA of the given case, suggested the remodeling strategies level after reviewing other related materials. Apply the real information of the economic index. And based on such analytical measures, remodeling and operation cost and LCC in remodeling strategies level have been predicted; suggests the basic information about remodeling interventions level for the apartment housing. The LCC analysis models and the fuzzy logic based safety assessment presented in this study can greatly contribute to the value-oriented design alternative selection, estimation of the economic analysis, and the allocation of budget for apartm.
